I just received an assessment for a seminar presentation. It was all good - great mark and everything - but I went a bit over time, so my lecturer cautioned me to be careful about that and said that speakers at post-graduate conferences are often cut off abruptly if they go over time. I showed my housemate, who said, "Yes, that happened to me once... (thoughtful pause)... mind you, I ended up outliving the person who did it so I guess that showed him." Heh.

Random facts about me

• I love God and I strive to be like Jesus. I fail a lot at this, but am happy that God loves me anyway.
• I am turning 40 this year but trying not to have a crisis about that.
• I am constitutionally incapable of opening a packet from the 'wrong' end.
• I read a lot and have been known to flick ahead a few chapters when I'm worried about the fate of one of the characters.
• I paint a little, write a little and knit a little; and I don't mind that my enthusiasm far outweighs my talent.
• I find grammatical and literary jokes hilariously funny. Apparently this makes me a total geek.
• I like meeting new bloggers and will happily visit your blog if you leave a comment.
